Sandra Bullock Gives Jesse James a Second Chance

It's been no secret that Jesse James has been working overtime to win back ex-wife Sandra Bullock, and now sources tell me all his efforts have -- woh! -- actually paid off.

"Sandra has made it clear that Jesse is the love of her life," a friend of the actress tells me. "She's not the sort of lady that just stops loving someone, no matter what he did behind her back. Sandra misses him and their life together every single day. You have to remember Sandra raised Sunny [Jesse's 6-year-old daughter] as her own for the past five years. Packing her school lunches, brushing her hair, reading her bedtime stories. Sandra even took care of Sunny while Jesse was getting help in rehab."

Sandra and Jesse have been in constant contact since the day in March that Sandra left, however, sources tell me that recently their conversations have been less and less about the children and more about the two of them and everyday stuff.

"Jesse has made her smile again. She can finally have a normal conversation with him again without focusing on the pain and anger," a friend of Sandra's tells me. "She really is the most amazing person you will ever meet. Her heart is big and open; holding onto anger makes you bitter and twisted and that's not and never will be who she is."

Sandra's friend says Jesse has been charming the actress with stories of mundane tasks he's been undertaking at his new home in Austin, which happens to be just 16 miles from her Texas digs.

"She thinks its hilarious listening to him talking about what towels he needs to buy or that Sunny wants to paint the entire house pink! She would always be in charge of looking after the home in the past and knows interior decorating and Jesse is not a good fit."

In her first interview after the split, Sandra made it clear how important Jesse's children were to her, saying, "I don't want to know what life is like without those kids." And now that the court has approved Jesse's petition to let him take Sunny away from her biological mother, Janine Lindemulder, Sandra wont have to.

Jesse and Sunny, as well as his other children, Chandler, 15, and Jesse Jr., 12, will all relocate to Austin, just minutes away from the place Sandra calls home. And with Jesse's new workplace, a motorcycle shop just steps away from Walton's Fancy & Staple, a deli and grocery that Sandra owns, they will be seeing even more of each other.

However, its not just the children that have brought the couple back together. Famed M.D. Keith Ablow explains, "Infidelity is almost never a reason why educated, introspective and forgiving people stay separated or divorced. If other facets of the relationship are present -- including commitment to one's children and an overriding sense that life is more meaningful together than apart -- then marriages can not only survive infidelity, but end up stronger, despite it."

Jesse ex-wife agrees, telling this week's issue of Life & Style magazine, "They want to exclude me. He will do anything to get back in her good graces."

OMG, let him be her best friend and co-parent, but I can't imagine trusting him again ever. He's a broken person and puts his welfare first, happy to have her in his life, sure, but what a bargain he is. "Educated people" don't let infidelity break them up, really? Maybe they didn't major in psychology.

Children are not enough 'glue' to keep a marriage together. 20 years down the road and they will be left with an empty nest and memories. My husband and I are married almost 50 years and our best memories are not of our children but the friendship and respect we had for each other through the years..

Praise God! And thank You for prayers answered! I felt so sure that they both loved each other beyond description and that his infidelity was the result of being unable to handle the lack of acceptance by the media and the rest of Hollywood. They treated him as a novelty or, at best, tolerated him out of respect to Sandra. It was so obvious that they would only ever be happy again if they could get back together.

sandra bullocks only problem with jesse is that when he was doing these women she was not offered the opportunity to do them also. when she kissed that women at the awards ceremony she was shoving it in his face showing him that she could get it any time she wanted to. now when and if they reconcile her main point is going to be that if he screws around she wants to be there too

Rex. Dude. Did you even read the article about that kiss at the awards? I'm guessin' you didn't. She was the wife of her co-star FROM that movie. Normally, that woulda happened anyway. It was a joke, dude.

YOU ARE THE TRUE MORON, MORE FROM THE IDIOT SIDE, SANDRA IS NOT GAY NOR BY,,YOU HAVE A DEEP ROOTED PROBLEM THERE. I KNOW THE NAME OF A REAL GOOD DR FOR YOU..........PLEASE DONT WISH BAD ON OTHER PEOPLE WHO UN-LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO MOVE ON WITH THIER LIFE ,GET A LIFE.............

I hate to see Sandra screw up her life by staying emotionally involved with this guy. We all know there is only one attraction that Jesse can have for such a diverse group of women as he seems to attract (and bed). Sadly, the pornstar exwife and the strippers seem better prepared to separate themselves from their sexual flings with Jesse. Sandra's good girl personality is telling her "she must love him" since it felt so good.

Melanie I really hope Sandra Bullock doesn't fall for that idiot Jesse James again. Because no doubt about it he will cheat again. I hope Sandra divorce's him like she planned. Even if Sandra did get back together with Jesse I think she will only get back together because she loves those kids of his. I wouldn't get back together with my cheating husband no matter how much I love my kids.
